Subject: [PATCH v12] virtio-net: support device stats


This patch allows the driver to obtain some statistics from the device.

In the back-end implementation, we can count a lot of such information,
which can be used for debugging and judging the running status of the
back-end. We hope to directly display it to the user through ethtool.

To get stats atomically, try to get stats for all queue pairs in one
command.
